I'm literally incapable of thinking like a person who would care about that.<br /><br />On the article -- way too early to put the 2009-10 Mariners on a list like this, IMO. I still think every move they made was sound, and they were just snakebit last year. I imagine we'll look back and they'll look just fine.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840958382433052735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-26694354179810424242011-02-16T09:05:20.934-06:002011-02-16T09:05:20.934-06:00I completely agree with the above comments.

I read this site frequently and really enjoy the analysis and interesting writing.<br /><br />I can tell both you and Bill put a lot of time and effort into what goes on here.<br /><br />But, yeah, the 3rd person schtick gets really old real fast. I often find it so grating I stop reading even if the article is a good one. It's unnecessarily self-righteous and really is a turn-off as a reader.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157418701163528747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-38132345422048896692011-02-16T02:39:31.285-06:002011-02-16T02:39:31.285-06:00I tend to enjoy your site here, but I've gotta...I tend to enjoy your site here, but I've gotta say, you constantly referring to yourself in the third person is a major turn off. I realize it's part of your shtick, but it's like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I'm not alone. On posts where you do it often I sometimes have to stop reading.<br /><br />I generally like the content, I just think your writing would be 100x better without that quirk. <br /><br />Please take this to heart.JArthur - Concerned Citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-40037706959234221742011-02-16T02:38:46.727-06:002011-02-16T02:38:46.727-06:00..JArthur - Concerned Citizennoreply@blogger.com
